Interstate at Hwntsville. 
. HuNTSViLLE, Ala., July 11.— The Interstate Association tourna- 
ment, under the auspices of the Huntsville Gun Club, was one of 
success, despite the fact that the attendance was not nearly as 
large as had been expected. We had the pleasure of having with 
us abovTt twentv-five vijiting sportsmen, and the day of the begin- 
ning gave every evidence of a most cordial welcome to our guests. 
On Tuesday morning the sun beamed forth in all its glory, and 
everything seejned fresher from the little shower the night before. 
Manager Elmgr E. Shaner, of the Interstate Association, arrived 
in the city on the afternoon of the 6th, and immediately com- 
menced to arrange the grounds for the tournament; by Tuesday 
noon all arrangements were complete for the practice preliminary 
to the formal opening for the tournament. 
First Day, July 8. 
On Wednesday morning promptly at 9 o'clock, Mr. L. Z. Law- 
renee fired Uie opening gun, and tlie sport was on. 
Squad No. 1, composed of Lawrence, Anthony, Heikes, Baker 
and Spencer, commenced to grind them out in great shape, break- 
ing 6S out of 75 shot at. Squad No. 2, composed of members of 
the Huntsville Gun Club, John, Jr., Newman, J. W. Matthews, 
Van Valkenberg and President Turner, then faced the traps, and 
for a time it was thought that the experts would be "not in it," 
as it were; but the "something" that is always happening stepped 
in abovit this time, and when squad No. 2 had passed from the 
score it was shown that out of the 75 they had only broken 59, 
just 9 targets behind the experts. Immediately followed squad 
No. 3, composed of our friends from Chattanooga, Messrs. Brown, 
O'Connall, Goodlake and Webster, who after the first event 
pulled themselves together and showed the boys a thing or two. 
After adding the scores of this squad it was shown that out of 
60 shot at they secured 44. Then came Dr. Erazier, of Birming- 
ham, and while it is a matter of record that he secured only 11 
out of the 15 shot at, we are satisfied that he was taking in the 
beautiful grounds of the local club, and just warming up, for at 
the end of the day he was second high amateur average. 
In the second event Col. J. T. Anthony set them a warm pace 
and set the mark at 20 straight, being the first straight score for 
the day. In the following event Spencer found how easy it was 
to turn the txick, which he did in events 3, 5 and 7, going 
through each without dropping a target. 
At the close of the day it was shown that Spencer was high 
gun. Baker second, Ilcikes and Lawrence tie for third. 
Among the amateurs Baker was high with 88.8 per cent; Frazier 
was second with S5.9, and Newman, of the local club, was third 
with S3.8 per cent. 
Following are the scores for the day:

Second Day, July 9. 
The day opened with threatening outlook for the tournament, 
about 8 o'clock clouds commenced to gather, and it seemed for a 
time that it would be late before the shooting could commence, 
but before the hour of 9 had come, the clouds had disappeared 
from the skies, and the morning could not have been more 
beautiful. It is indeed a pleasure to even "take in" the local 
grounds, so beautifully shaded by massive oaks, and in fact shoot- 
ing stations 3, 4 and 5 are in the shade of an immense oak. 
The morning opened with several additional shooters present, 
besides a number of visitors, many of them being ladies, whose 
presence added charm to the day. 
This was the day in which the local club would have to appear 
in the name of victor or vanquished, the club having with it 
the Sheffield Gun Club's crack team, who came to retrieve their 
lost laurels. Several months ago, it was decided by the crack 
teams of the two clubs to purchase a trophy to be contested for, 
and the team winning two of the three competitive shoots become 
the owner of the trophy. A beautiful silver loving cup from 
Tiffany's was decided upon, and during the month of May the 
Huntsville team was invited to attend the Sheffield tournament for 
the first ccntest. This was won easily by Huntsville, and in the 
race to-day for the cup it is "ours, all ours," the crack team of 
the Huntsville Club winning the trophy by 30 targets. 
At the close of the second day Heikes was high gun for the 
day with 177 out of 185 shot at. Baker was second with 172 and 
Spencer third with 169. 
Baker again led the amateurs with 172, closely followed by 
J. W. Matthews and John Jr., each making 164. 
At the closing of the tournament it was shown that Spencer 
was high gun for the two days with 341, Heikes second with 340 
and Baker third with 336. 
We extend a cordial welcome, and we trust that we may have 
the pleasure of again entertaining every guest we had with us, and 
many more. The scores of the second day follow:

Notes. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, aside from being the peer of managers, is 
a genial, high-toned gentleman. Mr. Shaner has won a place in 
the hearts of the Huntsville sportsmen, where, D.V., he will 
never be eradicated. 
Pop Heikes' gun got out of fix the first part of the first day, 
and he got off badly, but ground them out in his old pristine form 
the second day, much to the delight of all, among whom were 
many of his warm and cordial admirers. 
Mr. W. A. Baker is beyond question one of the highest classed 
amateur shooters in the South. His affability endears him to all 
those who have tire pleasure of his acquaintance. 
Col. J. T. Anthony, that old time Southern gentleman, pos- 
sessing all the suavity of that typical cavalier, contributed largely 
by his presence and geniality, not only to the success of the 
tournament, but to the entertainment of the sportsmen and their 
guests. 
Mr. W. A. Long acted as cashier during the tournament with 
remarkable proficiency and accuracy, and by his genial manner 
added to the already enormous popularity of his company. 
Capt. J. J. Gray, of the Sheffield Gun Club, and incidentally 
president of the Sheffield National Bank, while in the city left a 
few , of his visiting cards in the way of ?20 bills bearing his 
autograph. Call again, Cap; we ai-e always glad to see you. 
Mr, Chas. G. Spencer, champion target shot of the world, won 
high average for both days, beating Heikes by 1 target. Mr. 
Spencer was quite the center of attraction at the tournament, and 
no gentleman has ever visited Huntsville in the capacity of trade 
representative who has left a better impression than he. 
Mr. L. Z. Lawrence was quite at home among his old Hunts- 
ville friends, and his princely manners are only rivaled by his 
high class demonstration of the excellence of his powder. 
Mr. Louis Williams contributed largely to tlie smooth running 
of the tournament. "Hoppie" was ever willing to lend a helping 
hand whenever needed. Manager Shaner especially appreciated 
his services very much, 
John, Jr., we are proud of you. Well have you been called 
"champion" among us, and may you never lose your skill. 
Newman was not at all himself the second day; but he is one of the 
best shots in the State, and is never beaten until the last shot is 
fired. 
Matthews, J. W., "our Waddy," by the remarkable way he has 
been shooting, has drawn the attention of the shooting fraternity. 
His percentage 'on Uie first day was 81.6, and on the second day 
his work was so improved that he shot 88.6 per cent. An average 
of 85.2 per cent, for the two days is a record of which any ama- , 
teur may feel proud. 
The Huntsville Gun Club tendered a grand ball to the visiting 
sportsmen on Thursday night, at the beautiful park pavilion, which 
occasion was one of the most enjoyable affairs ever participated 
in by the prominent society people of North Alabama. At 11 
o'clock at night, in the presence of a brilliant company, Capt. 
J. J. Gray in a few graceful and appropriate remarks presented 
the Huntsville Gun Club team with the beautiful loving cup they 
had won. This handsome trophy, emblematic of the Nortb 
Alabama championship, was received by Messrs. Bankhead and 
Wallace, of the Huntsville team, who, while expressing great de- 
light on behalf of the victors for the honors they had achieved 
in winning the cup, deplored the fact that a team of such gallant 
gentlemen and accomplished sportsmen should have met defeat.

Devil's Lake, N. D., July 7.— The ninth annual tournament of 
the North Dakota Sportsmen's Associ.ition closed to-day, and was 
well attended. At a meeting of the Association, held Monday 
evening, on Chautauqua grounds, Minot was selected as the loca- 
tion for the next annual meeting. The following officers were 
elected: Clarence Parker, of Minot, President; R. W. Main, 
Cando, Vice-President; John Peterson, Leeds, Second Vice-Presi- 
dent; W. H. Reighart, Minot, Treasurer; F. Moore, Minot, Sec- 
retary. 
The tournament was held about six miles from the town of 
Devil's Lake, on what is known as Chautauqua grounds. The 
background was the worst the writer has ever seen, and high 
scores were hard to make. 
I am at a loss to know why such grounds should be selected, 
as fine grounds could be had within twenty rods of the hotel at 
Devil's Lake. 
The four-man team shoot was won by Wood, Hale, Seymour 
and Ferguson, with 91 out of a possible 100. Clarence Parker, of 
Minot, won the State championship, and Guptill won gold medal. 
Quite a large delegation of sportsmen went to Minot this even- 
ing to attend a one-day tournament given by the Minot Gun Club. 
The purses should be good, as the club added .$200 for the one- 
day programme.

Micol Shoot. 
Minot, N. Dak.— One of the best one-day shoots of the year 
was given Wednesday of this week at Minot. The boys there are 
preparing to hold the State Shoot next year, and they have begun 
by having the best possible equipment of grounds, traps and the 
like. 
They added $250 for the day, in nine races, and made a pro- 
gramme of absorbing interest. Fifty men in all took part, and 
some good scores were made, although the visitors were pretty 
well tired out with the work at Devil's Lake and the long ride up 
on the cars. Scores follow:
